Yep. Ryan came out like a wonk that he is, something that he was warned about. He’s got a command of his figures and his anecdotes, but he didn’t score any memorable hits, unfortunately, and those could have been some relatively trivial things, such as mentioning the apology tour, or the bowing down in front of foreign tyrants, which would, I think, force the MSM’s hand into bringing back information about and pictures of those things. As I said, something memorable, like even the stupid, “there you go again” or “a thousand points of light”. It was a wasted opportunity. These things are like professional wrestling when it comes to affecting the viewers who are not already on your side.

I enjoyed Ryan's response:
“I think the Vice President very well knows that sometimes the words don’t come out of your mouth the right way.”

Arrogant, childish, proud, rude people always laugh at people who take serious matters seriously because they know it's true but yet they think they are getting away with it.

Doesn't matter what the MSM media types say or all the pundits say, this WILL effect what and how women feel and think about both Obama and Biden.......
Women will see this as them laughing at people's misery... no doubt about that.

...it’s an Alysnki-ite tactic to divert attention, ridicule and mock your opponent with laughter.

Except that Ryan got the only real laugh out of the audience tonight, when he quipped about Biden's propensity to be a gaffe machine.

, Me ,a regular joe I would have told Biden, Your socialist leader Obama has piled on 6 trillion in debt on America. Now you detail exactly how we are going to pay that back. And that bird brain Biden would not have been able to answer. Here’s a clue Obama, we will never be able to pay that much money back and we will collapse worse than Greece is. 6 trillion in Obama debt will crush us, the U.s. and no one can tell me it won’t because we will never ever be able to pay that money back. And I would keep peppering that POS biden with that and other questions like how many jobs were there when Obama took over and how many now ? And how there are less jobs now with 8 million more in the workforce about 10 million deficit in jobs etc. many other questions.

I would have pointed out media bias and how Obama is destroying the U.S. with debt and big government and taking our freedoms, and it’s dictatorial executive order :” You tell me how Obama has the right to act like a dictator. I ask Congress now to do your duty and impeach Obama for abuse of power for passing the dream act Amnesty for illegals over the objection of Congress and behind the American people. Have you no shame Obama? Resign now for this dictatorial act and for destroying the American dream, and the media for covering this up”’s back”

Oh I can go on for 300 pages like this but what’s the point. I hope we can still pull it out but Ryan had an opportunity and I hope mitt says this.

Surely you caught Ryan's line about Biden being a gaffe-o-matic? The whole audience burst out laughing. The talk shows have been playing it over and over.

I agree with everything you say. People are misinformed, uninformed and it should be the job of our candidates to rectify it. The debates are such an opportunity, and as I said, they can be used against the MSM, forcing their hand, as it were, in revealing what they had been hiding. Things don’t have to be spoken as bluntly as you and most of us here put it, but they can and should be spoken. Because this debate was like a debate between, say Dan Quayle and whoever was the opposite of him, I don’t remember, anyway, two near equals, neither of whom (or whose bosses) was bent on destroying America, on “improving” and “correcting” the Constitution as Obama himself said more than once in 2008 and earlier.

It was as if Ryan had bought into the McCain/MSM version of Obama as a “good man”.

Oh sure, I caught it. That was a good one. But reading in the WSJ a couple of weeks ago a report from the inside of the Romney camp, I understood that in preparing for the debates they voted there against using “zingers”. I think it was a mistake. Again, I think these debates are in part much like professional wrestling.

Ryan was overwhelmingly better in the close. Biden rambled and seemed distracted. Ryan was clear, firm, precise and effective.

You reminded me of my all time great debate moment.
When Bush turned and gave goofy Gore the special nod, just priceless.
